The Hidden Toll of Jealous Control on Your Relationship EP 53

TOP SELF | Tips on Jealousy and Insecurity in Relationships

Ever felt burdened with an overdeveloped sense of responsibility, trying to control your relationships and often leaving you drained?
In this episode, I talk about the damaging implications that control has on your relationship. Referencing the Adult Children of Alcoholics Laundry List, I delve into my own experiences to expose the exhausting effects of being overly controlling.
I hate that sometimes "being controlling" is talked about as if its cool or makes you somehow sound above average or that you've got it all together. The same is true when people say they are perfectionist. Neither of those are great to be in my opinion and really are a sign that you are too focused on things other than looking at yourself.
We love to tell our partners what to do and who they can talk to and what they should type back to an ex or family member in a text. Quite frankly.... you should be focused on on yourself. Use that energy to accomplish your own goals and dreams and let your partner be the adult they are.
I'll bust the myth of control and perfectionism, revealing it as a mere distraction from addressing our real issues. By learning to lead ourselves, we can foster healthier relationships and a richer life. Remember, you're not alone in this journey, and there's a free discovery call waiting for you.
